My doggy nephew has a really gross-looking skin tag...it looks like a piece of chewed gum stuck to his chest. But since the vet's not worried, it stays. My dad's old doberman had one that looked like a tiny penis sticking out of his belly.

Apache had one that literally looked like a finger on her butt. So I took it off... Skin tags are no big deal. But anything that looks even a little funky makes me freak out after losing Sock-M to cancer so young.

Run Hard at the Rainbow Bridge My Angel Sock-M! I Love You Baby Girl! Now that your Mom Starlit is up there too, please help her learn the ropes, love and keep her company until I can see you both again. Starlit I love you!http://i14.tinypic.com/2a8q345.jpg

Yeah I think for the most part as long as their small its not a big deal. When I got Oscar's teeth cleaned and a growth from the inside of his eyelid removed I had 2 on his face removed, I think my Vet warned me they'd probably come back. He has more now, and I hate them I've been scheming in my head for a while on an inexpensive way to remove them.

But yes, generally they are pretty harmless, just icky.

I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day, tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Ugh - Ruby has a small one on her neck - looks more like a skin colored mole and I hate it. Ha ha on the ganglion with the bible - anything that helps, right? I used to punch the one on the top of my foot with my fist - I'm so glad it seems to have gone away now. They are painful!

Most of the time they're small papillomas (warts), and they will just grow on and on. We do cryo on them at work, just like for people's warts. No anesthesia, I guess local can be done but that's probably more painful than removing the wart itself... Local buuurns.
